What is the concrete mix ratio unit converter?
Concrete mix ratio unit converter is the change of ratio unit from weight to volume, and from volume to weight. and also calculate concrete mix ratio from concrete mix ratio quantities. In the soved concrete mix ratio unit converter two types of selection available, volume to weight and weight to volume. When you will select volume to weight ensure all ratio or quantities in volume unit, and when you select weight to volume ensure all ratio or quantities in weight unit.
Example1: Concrete mix design quantities are, cement-360Kg, sand-705kg, 10mm aggregate- 200kg, 20mm aggregate- 400kg, 40mm aggregate-800kg.
Calculate mix ratio and convert this mix ratio in volume.
Solution:quantity of mix design in kg so first calculate mix ratio in weight.
Cement quantity(C)- 360Kg
Sand quantityS)- 705Kg
10mm aggregate(A10)- 200Kg
20mm aggregate(A20)- 400Kg
40mm aggregate(A40)- 800Kg
Now weight mix ratio is-
C:S:A10:A20:A40~ 360:705:200:400:800
Divide by cement qty,
C:S:A10:A20:A40~ 360/360:705/360:200/360:400/360:800/360
C:S:A10:A20:A40~ 1 : 1.96 : 0.56 : 1.11 : 2.22
Mix ratio conversion from weight ratio to volume ratio.
Concrete mix ratio in weight is-
C:S:A10:A20:A40~ 1:1.96:0.56:1.11:2.22
Cement density- 1440Kg/Cum
Sand density- 1600Kg/Cum
10mm aggregate density- 1450Kg/Cum
20mm aggregate density- 1450Kg/Cum
40mm aggregate density- 1450Kg/Cum
Now for volume mix ratio we will have to divide concrete weight mix ratio or quantity by density.
Concrete weight mix ratio is-
C:S:A10:A20:A40~ 1:1.96:0.56:1.11:2.22
Concrete volume mix ratio is-
C:S:A10:A20:A40~ 1/1440:1.96/1600:0.56/1450:1.11/1450:2.22/1450
Divide by cement ratio,
C:S:A10:A20:A40~ 1*1440/1440:1.96*1440/1600:0.56*1440/1450:1.11*1440/1450:2.22*1440/1450
C:S:A10:A20:A40~ 1.00 : 1.764 : 0.556 : 1.102 : 2.205
Example2: Mix ratio conversion from volume ratio to weight ratio and take volume ratio 1:2:4, where 1 is cement, 2 is sand, and 4 is graded aggregate with 20mm nominal size.
Concrete mix ratio in volume is-
C:S:A10:A20:A40~ 1:2:0.0:4:0.0
Cement density- 1440Kg/Cum
Sand density- 1600Kg/Cum
10mm aggregate density- 1450Kg/Cum
20mm aggregate density- 1450Kg/Cum
40mm aggregate density- 1450Kg/Cum
Now for weight mix ratio we will have to multiply concrete volume mix ratio or quantity by density.
Concrete volume mix ratio is-
C:S:A10:A20:A40~ 1:2:0.00:4:0.00
Concrete weight mix ratio is-
C:S:A10:A20:A40~ 1*1440:2*1600:0.0*1450:4*1450:0.0*1450
Divide by cement ratio,
C:S:A10:A20:A40~ 1*1440/1440:2*1600/1440:0.0:4*1450/1440:0.00
C:S:A10:A20:A40~ 1.00 : 2.22 : 0.0 : 4.03 : 0.0
